As reported by 2005 Boards member Dom on our sister site TFW2005, the Roll Out/Roll Call 2 convention in the UK will feature a unique, Action Force VS Transformers exclusive, the Kraken Bio Armour with minicon Treadshot! If you wanted something new for your Transformers Pretenders and/or Action Force collection, this unique exclusive is for you! More info from All The Cool Stuff:

Striking a dark deal with The Decepticons in return for new soldiers to the Red Shadow cause, The Black Major has agreed to subvert DNA of the Kraken to create a synthetic organic outer shell to disguise and enhance the power of Decepticon Mini-Cons. Treadshot, whose secret ambition is to destroy his rival Mini-Cons, volunteered for the opportunity to pilot the new Kraken Bio-Armour. Armed with the deadly Trident Laser, Treadshot can operate independently of his Kraken Bio-Armour with devastating effect. Treadshot follows the orders of The Black Major for now, but for how long no one knows.

As a tribute to both the Kraken and The Pretenders, Treadshot with Kraken Bio-Armour is exclusive to Roll Out/ Roll Call 2. Each set comes with Treadshot Mini-Con, Kraken Head, Kraken body front/ back, Kraken left/ right arm and Trident Laser. Developed and produced in the UK, there are 50 sets available for Roll Out/ Roll Call 2.

Please note this is a custom display piece and not suitable for persons under 16 years of age. Item shown is prototype, final product may vary slightly, other products are shown for scale and sold separately. Any advance orders not collected at the show will be dispatched 1-2 weeks after the show.

Also shown are convention exclusive prints by BOO, and Dave Reynolds, featuring GI Joe VS Transformers Animated!

Check out images of the Kraken Bio Armour With Treadshot and GI Joe VS Transformers Animated convention exclusive prints, after the jump!

GI Joe Move 2 has it's new director: Jon M. Chu! There are many new updates coming out from several sources. Here is what Jon Chu had to say.

Movieweb.com has this interview posted from Jon M. Chu

He is quite excited about taking on G.I. Joe 2, and promises to bring the 'punch' back to this franchise.

"The one thing I felt was missing from the last Joe movie was the power of the punch. You want Joe to be tough. They are fun, but they are tough. I feel that you don't want to make Joe too kidsie. That is one of the issues they are having. But yeah, I would have so much fun. There are so many cool characters to play with."


Jon M. Chu also talked about his plans for the upcoming sequel.

"I have a bunch of stuff written down. I have done a bunch of drawings and things. We'll have to see where that goes. Joe, to me, is iconic. It is as American as Coke and the Boy Scouts. To have that kind of history in a brand is so rare these days. And that is so powerful. So you can't treat Joe like its just another action movie. You can't treat Joe as just another petty commercial movie. Joe has history. Joe has always been a part of what America is, and now the world. What it means to be a leader and a hero. For me, it is about the fun stuff like Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes, and all the gadgets. All of that stuff. But it has heart. Its heart is what America, and what heroes and leaders around the world, strive to be. I think that is what the brand needs. It needs the respect to be treated in that way."

The New York Post interviewed Rachel Nichols recently, and she went over her GI Joe Rise Of Cobra action figure(s), and what she looks forward to in GI Joe 2. It turns out, she's not a fan of her action figure(s), and Sienna Miller was also not a fan of the Baroness action figures. Meanwhile, unlike Miller, Nichols seems pretty excited about GI Joe 2 and does not regret playing in Rise Of Cobra:

PW: Do you own the Scarlet action figure?
Rachel: Somewhere. My mother does a great job of collecting and preserving. Hasbro might not like me saying this, but I don’t think my action figure is very attractive. Sienna [Miller] and I actually fought over who’s rendition was uglier. She kind of wins because hers looks like a cross-eyed 80-year-old woman with an overbite, but I look like a man with a very large forehead and a unibrow, so…

PW: Well, I'm sure you can rectify that with the sequel.
Rachel: I would love to. They’ve been very tight-lipped about it -- I haven’t even seen a script, but I would jump to do it in a second. Making the first one was a blast.

Nichols also mentioned that she thinks her fight with Miller in Rise Of Cobra is better than her fight with Rose Mcgowan in Conan, and that in GI Joe 2, Scarlett wins:

PW: Hmm, you've already committed one of the better girlfights to film with Sienna in the first "G.I. Joe," how does this one stack up?
Rachel: [laughs] I should probably say the savvy thing -- that “Conan” is better ... but it’s not. I’m so sorry! Sienna and I had the dopest chick fight ever. Mine with Rose is much shorter. I mean, Baroness & Scarlet fought on elevators! I think that is going to be my favorite scene ever … until we make them give us a better one in “G.I. Joe 2!”

PW: It's a pretty hard act to follow!
Rachel: Well, I need to win! I was complaining that the good girl gets her butt kicked, but the [producers] kept telling me – "in the sequel, you win!" I think it could just be “G.I. Joe 2: Scarlett vs. Baroness.” That’s all it’ll be, just the two of us fighting.

With talk of Lee Byung Hun returning as Storm Shadow brought up numerous times, as well as talk of Channing Tatum reprising his role as Duke, perhaps Nichols will join them for GI Joe 2. Who else will return to reprise their roles?

Contactmusic.com has posted snippets of Sienna Miller's interview with Timeout London Magazine, with regards to her role as The Baroness in GI Joe Rise Of Cobra. Miller regrets her role in the movie and her interview does lend credence to the rumor that she will not return for GI Joe 2:

She tells Britain's Time Out magazine, "It was what it was, but I compromised my own values to a certain degree and I didn't feel good about that.

"I'm not very good at fighting. And I'm not very good at guns. And I'm not particularly aggressive. I had to wear sunglasses because every time I shot my gun I would blink. I was completely out of place, like this little midget running round in black leather winning fights, which was just absurd. They did a wondrous job with my wardrobe to make me look threatening.

"G.I. Joe (was) a great pay cheque. If, financially, I'm okay - which luckily I am - there's no point in doing stuff that's not right for me. It's too much time away from home."

Miller added that she is more focused on furthering her theatre career as opposed to film.

You may recall, she wanted to win as Scarlett in GI Joe 2, and expressed excitement for it, but didn't outright say she would be returning. Whether things change remains to be seen. Can you picture GI Joe 2 without Scarlett?

The preview for GI Joe Infestation #1 in the pages of Infestation #1 suggested that GI Joe Infestation would take on a dark tone. This issue is indeed, decidedly darker than Infestation #1. Simply put, everything goes to hell for all GI Joe and Cobra operatives involved.

The Baroness sets the tone for this issue, as someone in her party is quickly killed in the first few pages, followed by the immediate capture of Psyche Out. Baroness and crew have raided the seemingly unassuming boat that Psyche Out and his team are sailing on.

Until this issue, we haven’t seen Psyche Out and Interrogator used much, so their roles in this issue are appreciated. It was also interesting to see how soldiers working under the Baroness react to her orders.

Baroness is portrayed as a ruthless Cobra operative, aided by Cobra Eels and Interrogator. Along the way, two new would-be Joes, Dolphin and Hound, are very briefly introduced.
We mentioned new would-be Joes introduced in this issue, but they aren’t the only new additions, as a new BAT design is shown. These BATs are worked on by Dr. Zych and Dr. Mitchell of Cobra. The BATs have surgical implants from animals to boost their sensory functions. While Mitchell is reluctant to perform the surgeries, Zych demands that the surgeries continue, for her own reasons….

It turns out that Psyche Out was transporting mysterious cargo, cargo that is of interest to the Baroness. Against Psyche Out’s warnings, the Baroness sends off the cargo to Dr. Zych to study.

What results is everything going south for everyone stuck on the Cobra Cottonmouth base, and possibly an unholy alliance formed for survival, in the next issue.

In some way, this issue is similar to Infestation #1 in that it’s unpredictable and that things go haywire for the main characters. This kicks things off well because the odds are against them, and this may force both GI Joe and Cobra forces to team up. Premises like that are usually entertaining.

The artwork was handled well, with J. Brown’s colors accentuating Giovanni Timpano’s artwork rather well. Timpano’s use of spot black inks is good, it aids in conveying the dark tone of the storyline. His rendition of the Baroness is rather appealing as well.

Overall this issue combines good artwork with an intriguing story and overlooked/underrated characters. It’s definitely a unique GI Joe comic worth checking out.

HISS Tank boards member kuukuuson has been hard at work on his RAHC Guide and he has sent us update III on the upcoming book. RAHC Guide Round 2 Update was posted last month. Without further ado, here is update III!

Well the time has arrived, the moment you’ve all been waiting for… The R.A.H.C. Guide has been sent to the printer approved with changes and being prepared to print as we speak!!!

After a very long search to find the perfect combination of price and quality this specialized era of G.I. Joe requires, the R.A.H.C. Guide is priced at $40 and will debut at the 2011 G.I. Joe Convention!

This 172 page reference book fully exploring 689 Action Figures and 135 Vehicles and Playsets will be available in limited quantities so be ready to purchase yours as soon as possible. Look for a member of the illustrious Springfield Country Club set up inside the main convention hall!! After the convention concludes, orders will be taken and payment instructions will be issued.

Let me kinda sit down and loosen my tie per se to tell ya that’s it’s been a long road. When I first set down with this project, the general consensus was a guide on this subject matter wasn’t feasible. I knew that if I set out to do this project, it’s gotta be done right. My No. 1 goal was the make the perfect guide to specifically satisfy the “over the top fan-boy” in me and bring a quality product to the community. While sporadically showing in progress samples to friends and collectors to obtain feedback, I knew I was on the right track. I can’t thank them (i.e. you) enough and can’t wait to get this guide in your hands!

Kudos to kuukuuson for his hard work and efforts behind this upcoming book!
